The Intel Core i7 9700k will be a 10nm Ice Lake architecture processor featuring 8 cores / 16 threads releasing around September.

 

Catch is: only works on yet to be released z390 chipset.

I've heard of a supposed 8 core processor being available soon for the coffee lake series of motherboards (300 series), I'd like to know more about it, whether it is just a rumor, or something I might want to wait for.

Currently, I have a Ryzen 5 1600 processor, and I'm looking to upgrade my entire system, and then give the current one to my brother who is still on an i5-4590. Money isn't an object, and I'd like the best gaming performance, which, if there is an 8 core version of the i7-8700k, I'd prefer that, since it would be an upgrade in core count, and clock speeds from my Ryzen system. (if its a thing)

From my understanding (Rumors at this point), the 8 core part would be apart of the 9000 series and would be on a Z390 board. i would imagine you would be waiting for at least half a year, but this is my guesstimation on rumors.
